NEW DELHI: Another incident of ‘urinating’ on a co-passenger came to light on Sunday night when an American Airlines flight landed at the Delhi airport around 9 pm.
The security officer on duty said on Monday, “It was learnt that an unruly (Indian) passenger, arriving from New York by American Airlines Flight No. AA 292 in an inebriated condition, has argued with a co-passenger and urinated on him”.
Soon after the aircraft landed at Delhi airport, the crew members contacted to Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer regarding the incident. The airport aviation security took cognisance and escorted the passenger to the airport police station. “The said unruly pax along with complainant was taken to IGIA PS by concerned airlines security under the escort of CISF for further legal action”, an official said.
Delhi Police sources said, “No official complaint has been lodged by the complainant yet.” There was no statement from American Airlines.
A similar incident happened last month when a passenger, Arya Vohra of Delhi, was caught allegedly urinating on a US passenger in mid-air on an American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi. The airline also imposed a ban on the passenger from flying on any of its flights in the future.
On November 26 last year, a man named Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 70-year-old woman co-passenger in an inebriated condition in business class of an Air India New York-New Delhi flight, but the incident was not reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) which was attributed to the delay in reporting the incident by the airline crew. Mishra was later arrested by the Delhi Police. (ANI)
